Business Career
Services Hosts Career Fair, Receives Support

Students
from all curricula in the College of Business attended the Career Fair held
September 17 and 18 at the Chancellor Hotel in Champaign. More than 160 companies
booked tables to recruit members of the class of 2003 and to advertise internships
for next summer. Over 2,700 students signed up for the event, some attending
both days.

Half the funds will
be used by MCA for scholarships and to support a leadership workshop.

The remainder will
be used by BCS to support a database of corporations used by students
to research potential employers, to access a self-assessment tool to help
students determine their career focus, and to underwrite an informational
brochure advertising the services of the undergraduare career office.
